#1. Toxic Culture Driving Nursing Shortage; Staffing Firms Have an Advantage: MIT Sloan Management Review
A new paper in the MIT Sloan Management Review shows that four factors have the biggest influence on nurses’ job satisfaction: compensation, workload, toxic culture, and organizational support.

#3. 1 in 7 Employed Americans Want to Leave Their Job Within the Next Year, and Pay Is a Deciding Factor: Yoh
A survey from Yoh revealed that only 28% of American workers say they love their job and are unwilling to leave their employer for any reason. Job loyalty is more common in older employees, with 42% of those aged 55 or older expressing this sentiment as opposed to only 19% of workers between ages 18 and 34. More than a quarter (26%) of surveyed employees would only leave in the next year for a higher salary and/or better benefits.

A negative interview experience includes things like discriminatory questions, which over one-third (34%) say they have been asked.
